New Challenges,
New Leadership.
Your District. Your Voice. Your Future.
Kim Short is running to represent the Potomac District on the Board of County Supervisors. The Board decides how Prince William County grows, how your tax dollars are used, and how effectively local government responds to the needs of our communities.
YOU are the heartbeat of this campaign.
Kim Short understands that local government decisions affect what we pay, how our neighborhoods grow, the condition of our roads and infrastructure, the support for our schools and public safety agencies, and the services and amenities that shape our quality of life. That is why she wants to ensure the people who are impacted the most have a seat at the decision-making table.
Residents should not have to be experts in county government to understand those decisions or to have a meaningful voice in them.
Kim believes residents need to know what is being decided, how it affects their community, and how they can participate — before the decision is made. She believes that progress begins with good communication. Results begin with good collaboration.

Get what’s happening in the county, straight from Kim — and be the first to know when she’s in your neighborhood.
Effective representation begins before someone takes office.
This Is Your Community
As your Supervisor, Kim intends to do more than simply vote at Board meetings. She wants your input, to make your voice heard, and to work together toward a community that is affordable, connected, well-resourced, and full of opportunities to not just live, but to thrive.
She is not waiting for Election Day to begin advocating for the people of the Potomac District. Right now, she is already listening, sharing information, connecting residents with resources, and helping neighbors understand how county decisions impact their families and communities.
Your voice matters before Election Day — and it will matter after it.

Why I Am Running
Quality of life has dipped to an all-time low for most Americans, and we are all feeling the pain.
Rising costs in housing, groceries, healthcare, and gas and utilities have made it next to impossible for many to even make ends meet. Our rights and freedoms are under daily assault. Our hopes and aspirations for a better life are under constant threat by destructive division, in attempts to separate us by party, race, ethnicity, gender, personal choices and beliefs.
Where she stands
The “Short” list of priorities. Great leadership begins with listening to those you serve.
Addressing your kitchen table issues
Housing options that expand, taxes that stay affordable, and a county teachers, first responders, young families and seniors can still afford to call home.
Preparing the next generation
Investment in public education, career and technical education, and the partnerships that equip students to thrive in tomorrow's world.
Managing the age of AI and data centers
Data centers managed with common sense — the industry carrying the full cost of the infrastructure it needs, sited well away from homes and schools.
Moving in Prince William County
Safer roads, smarter traffic solutions and infrastructure that makes travel easier — the difference between dinner with your family and endless windshield time.
Strengthening public safety
Support for first responders as a non-negotiable, with prevention and emergency preparedness that keeps pace with a growing county.
An office that answers.
Constituent service is not a courtesy, it is the job. Every phone call and email needs to be answered, every concern logged, assigned, and closed, and lastly, every status or outcome needs to be communicated. Your government should work for you, not the other way around.
Every county decision that lands in this district.
The District Desk is a plain-language information hub for Potomac District residents. Residents should know what is happening before decisions are final. County information and public materials are often published, but are scattered or written in technical language. The District Desk will organize and explain what matters.
Zoning Map Amendment for E-Commerce Overlay District
The Board is considering a zoning map amendment to create or change an E-Commerce Overlay District across the county. This could affect where e-commerce-related businesses can operate or expand. Residents may see changes in land use or business activity if the amendment is approved.
Public hearing on temporary easements at 5049 Waterway Drive
The Board will decide whether to authorize a public hearing about granting Columbia Gas of Virginia temporary construction easements at 5049 Waterway Drive. This could affect residents near that address if construction or access changes occur. If approved, a date for the public hearing will be set for community input.
Funding for Vulnerable Road User Safety Outreach Project
The Board is deciding whether to accept federal and local funds to start a new project focused on road safety for vulnerable users, such as pedestrians and cyclists. This project will include outreach and education efforts across Prince William County. If approved, the funds will be used to support these activities countywide.
It Takes a Village
This is your chance to get involved, and take both ownership and a leadership role in the prosperity of your community — the Potomac District of Prince William County.
